God Does Great Things!

Psalm 126 (NRSV)
God does great things for us

When the Lord restored the fortunes of
Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with
laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then it was said among the
nations, "The Lord has done great things for them." The Lord has done
great things for us, and we rejoiced.

Restore our fortunes, O Lord,
like the watercourses in the Negeb. May those who sow in tears reap
with shouts of joy. Those who go out weeping, bearing the seed for
sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, carrying their sheaves.
